"We have come to the conclusion on the basis of CCTV, forensic evidence and scientific evidence. The student has been apprehended. He remains our prime suspect," the spokesperson said.

The student who is still a juvenile according to the law has been nabbed with the knowledge of his parents. Investigations are further on to confirm all the details gathered. Earlier, a suspect - conductor of the school bus was arrested over the murder and the state government had handed over the probe into the incident to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
